Answer 2

He cares more about preaching to his audience than entertaining them.

Option: (B)

Explanation:

• The English monk tales compiled by Geoffrey Chaucer depict the monk to be a simple yet highly determined individual who wishes to make his disciples understand every single thing of the preachings that he dispenses very clearly.

• To emphasize the significance of a good trait, he tells different stories to his disciples that bear the same moral.

• The monk believes that knowledge would come not through entertainment, but through devotion.
